#2 A lot of wealthy + super-wealthy Frenchies are leaving France to SSSSSHHHHH save their wealth.

Enjoy the next two years while youse can - come 2015 or ASAP after, once the USA surrenders to NAU andor higher levels of OWG governance, THE ONLY REAL WAY FOR ANYONE ON EARTH TO SAVE THEIR WEALTH IS TO PHYSICALLY HIDE OR BURY IT.

Gold-n-Silver Bullion will be needed for use in Deep Space, both as a matter of Accounting-Budget Appropriation as well as being melted + reformed for Spaceship operating or engineering systems.

D *** NG IT, I DEMAND THAT THE US BUILD A DE FACTO WORKING DEATH STAR + STARSHIPS CREWED WID JAPANESE/BLADERUNNER SEX ANDROIDS IFF THE NAU + OWG ARE GONNA TAKE MY MONEY!

Oh wait, the Bammer said "No" ... ...

SO NO DEATH STAR, NO $$$, + NO SEX ROBOTS - ITS TIME FOR CIVIL WAR, CIVIL WAR I SAY!

#4 Wealthy French people don't live in France. They live in London. They bank in Switzerland. They Shop in Singapore. They Party in Dubai. And they invest their money in whatever country that makes them the most profit. (Which usually excludes France, Greece, Great Britton, and the USA).

They do however take extended vacations (usually about 280 to 300 days a year) in France. Of course they never bring their money, or business records, or anything else the French Government can get its hands on, into the country.

Or in other words.... they live a lot like wealthy Americans.

Like the USA, what France needs more than anything else is economic growth. But also like the USA, economic growth will never happen as long as they continue to tax wealthy investors (and their money) out of their country.
